Background: With the expansion of the Affordable Care Act in 2014, there has been a growing interest in how the Medicaid population will affect postoperative outcomes following total knee arthroplasty (TKA). Studies have shown that lower socioeconomic status, non-Caucasian race, women, cardiac and renal disorders, and younger age have been associated with increased lengths of stay (LOS) after TKA. The primary purpose of our study was to compare the total complications and LOS among patients undergoing TKA who have cash, commercial, government, Medicaid, and Medicare insurances.

Background: Long-term complications following total joint arthroplasty are not well established for patients who have Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (EDS), a group of connective tissue disorders. This study compared 10-year incidence of revision surgery after total hip arthroplasty (THA) and total knee arthroplasty (TKA) in patients who have and do not have EDS.
Methods: A retrospective cohort analysis was conducted using a national all-payer claims database from 2010 to 2021 to identify patients who underwent primary TKA or THA.

Background: For patients with gastric cancer, the pathway from primary care (PC) clinician to gastroenterologist to cancer specialist (medical oncologist or surgeons) is referral dependent. The impact of clinician connectedness on disparities in quality gastric cancer care, such as at National Cancer Institute-designated cancer centers (NCI-CC), remains underexplored. This study evaluated how clinician connectedness influences access to gastrectomy at NCI-CC.

Purpose: Our purpose was to quantify the risk of 90-day postoperative infection after arthroscopy, stratified by specific time intervals of corticosteroid injections (CSIs) postoperatively (0-2 weeks, 2-4 weeks, 4-6 weeks, and 6-8 weeks), using a large, all-payer database.
Methods: A national, all-payer database was queried. In the primary and secondary analyses, the main outcome was infection at 90 days.
